Chapter 746
With Lin Yuan backing him, Mo Xu-Jun was full of confidence.
Otherwise, knowing there was a second-realm Ti Being fanning the flas from the shadows—
Mo Xu-Jun would most likely not have chosen to et it head-on.
A second-realm Ti Being wasn’t on the level of a Ti Lord.
They couldn’t completely kill a Ti Being.
But offending one was enough to give the vast majority of first-realm Ti Beings a major headache.
Under the sches of a second-realm Ti Being, a first-realm Ti Being would find themselves completely on the defensive.
The waters of the Celestial River surged, and under the Taixu Lord’s control, rushed toward Mo Xu-Jun.
Layer upon layer of celestial river water spread out like ripples on a surface.
They kept expanding, stacking, and overlapping, making the force grow stronger and stronger—
Faintly carrying the might of nearly half the Celestial River Dinsion.
“Taixu, you won’t be able to do anything to with tricks like that.”
Mo Xu-Jun shook his head slightly, and likewise drew on the waters of the Celestial River. He had sat in the Celestial River Dinsion for many years, and was far more familiar with the power of this dinsion than the Taixu Lord.
Sure enough—
Two completely different rule-powers kept clashing and dissolving into each other, and the blow the Taixu Lord unleashed was ultimately rendered useless.
The Taixu Lord’s face remained calm; he was not surprised.
He’d already seen this scene many tis across the future tilines.
With only his own thods, and without paying a huge price—
Fighting Mo Xu-Jun would almost always end in a stalemate.
He might even be at a slight disadvantage.
“It’s not ti yet.”
The Taixu Lord suppressed the urge to imdiately use the “axe” Hui Zu had granted him.
Right now, the Heart of the Celestial River had yet to fully condense. Even if he crushed the seven Ti Beings of the Chaotic Void—
They still wouldn’t be able to take the Heart of the Celestial River at once.
That would only create more variables.
For example, drawing the gaze of other second-realm Ti Beings.
Only when the Heart of the Celestial River was about to condense—
Would he unleash his strongest trump card, defeat Mo Xu-Jun and the others.
Then quickly seize the Heart of the Celestial River and withdraw from the Celestial River Dinsion.
That was the safest approach.
Even if this drew the attention of other second-realm Ti Beings—
By then, the Heart of the Celestial River would already be in Hui Zu’s hands.
The Taixu Dinsion’s deal with Hui Zu would be complete.
What happened to the Heart of the Celestial River afterward would have nothing to do with the Taixu Dinsion.
The exchange between Mo Xu-Jun and the Taixu Lord was rely probing.
As soon as they made contact, they both backed off, neither having the intention to fight to the bitter end.
This left the Ti Beings watching from the sidelines a bit disappointed.
Compared to the battles of Zhu Yin and the other Ti Beings—
They were naturally more interested in watching the fight between Mo Xu-Jun and the Taixu Lord, the “default strongest” Ti Beings of top-tier dinsional spaces.
“Heh, the Heart of the Celestial River isn’t ford yet—there’s no way they’ll really go all out.”
“Exactly. Right now it’s just a bit of sparring. Until that Heart of the Celestial River appears, they won’t go all in.”
“I get the feeling the Taixu Dinsion has a deeper purpose this ti.”
The watching Ti Beings murmured among themselves. So of the ones not weaker than Mo Xu-Jun had already sensed sothing wrong—perhaps the Taixu Dinsion had another agenda.
But when things involved all nine Ti Beings of the Taixu Dinsion—
And Hui Zu, a second-realm Ti Being, was deliberately obscuring things—
Even if they sensed sothing was off, it was only a vague wrongness. The corresponding future tilines were extrely blurred and twisted; it was hard to pull out more information.
“We’ll just wait. This Heart of the Celestial River should be nearly complete—ten years at most.”
One Ti Being drew a conclusion and wasn’t in any rush.
“In eight to ten years, the Heart of the Celestial River will fully form. When that happens, the Ti Beings of the Taixu Dinsion will probably go all in—and that second-realm Ti Being behind them might take action as well.”
Mo Xu-Jun was also waiting, with most of his attention still on the unford Heart of the Celestial River.
“Milky Way said this Heart of the Celestial River is extrely special, worth far more than any past Hearts of the Celestial River—that’s why it attracted a second-realm Ti Being to sche over it.”
Mo Xu-Jun watched the Heart of the Celestial River taking shape with inevitable curiosity.
Of course, it was only curiosity—Mo Xu-Jun had no desire whatsoever to keep the Heart of the Celestial River for himself.
What a joke. This Heart of the Celestial River had already fallen within a second-realm Ti Being’s plan.
It was like a scalding-hot yam.
If he dared keep this Heart of the Celestial River, he’d have to be ready to live under the constant, unseen gaze of a second-realm Ti Being.
In that case, Mo Xu-Jun probably wouldn’t even dare leave the Chaotic Void.
Ti flowed.
In the blink of an eye, nine years passed.
The celestial river flowed, and the Heart of the Celestial River being nurtured within quickly took shape.
It was a wondrous treasure condensed entirely from the Celestial River Dinsion’s source power.
It was trendously helpful for a first-realm Ti Being seeking to comprehend the Dao’s operation within the Celestial River Dinsion.
“Now!”
The Taixu Lord’s eyes darkened, and he struck again.
Compared to the earlier brief exchanges, this ti the Taixu Lord could be said to be going all out.
Under a hazy radiance, spaceti in all directions solidified. In this mont, the Taixu Lord was the absolute master of ti and space.
“Hmph.”
Mo Xu-Jun imdiately responded, the power of his inner universe, his physical body, his ntal will and every other force rging into one and tearing open the frozen spaceti.
The seven great inheritances Mo Xu-Jun created each corresponded to one aspect of life, leaving him with nearly no weaknesses—this path was practically a straight road to Lordhood.
In theory, once all seven inheritances reached the seventh level, that would be the mont Mo Xu-Jun beca a third-realm Lord.
“Kill.”
Zhu Yin and the other Ti Beings threw themselves into battle.
With more than a dozen Ti Beings fighting, vast regions of spaceti within the Celestial River Dinsion were wiped out, as countless streams of celestial river water evaporated in an instant.
“Seven Great Limits.”
Mo Xu-Jun’s aura began to soar. His physical body, soul power, ntal will and so on all escalated.
The surge in strength deepened his control over the surrounding spaceti. He was like a boulder in deep water—the larger his mass, the more he influenced everything around him.
“Looks like he’s serious now.”
The Taixu Lord’s expression grew solemn. The Seven Great Limits was one of Mo Xu-Jun’s strongest killing moves.
Using it signaled that Mo Xu-Jun was only one step away from going all-in with his life.
What the Taixu Lord hadn’t expected was that Mo Xu-Jun would unleash it right at the start of the real fight.
In the many future tilines he’d observed before, Mo Xu-Jun only used this move after they’d been deadlocked for so ti.
“The Seven Great Limits?”
“That’s Mo Xu-Jun’s signature killing move.”
“I heard he created it based on his own path.”
“If I rember right, he once used that move to crush three Ti Beings working together.”
The watching Ti Beings all grew serious.
Under the Seven Great Limits, Mo Xu-Jun’s strength neared that of a true second-realm Ti Being.
Although the state couldn’t last long, and it was only a matter of strength—not the myriad thods of a second-realm Ti Being—
It was still terrifyingly powerful. It was precisely with this move that Mo Xu-Jun was able to rapidly establish himself in the Celestial River Dinsion.
“To show my respect for you…”
The Taixu Lord stared at Mo Xu-Jun from afar, raised his right hand, and placed it above his head. “I won’t be wasting ti in a drawn-out fight.”
As soon as he finished speaking—
A palm-sized axe appeared above the Taixu Lord’s head.
The axe spun, and in an instant it expanded past ten ters, an unprecedentedly sharp aura filling the depths of spaceti.
“Take my axe!”
Without hesitation, the Taixu Lord activated the trump card Hui Zu had bestowed upon him.
At his current level, if he relied only on himself to fight Mo Xu-Jun, who’d activated the Seven Great Limits, he would definitely be suppressed.
They’d be locked in a stalemate, and it would be impossible to decide a winner in a short ti.
Rather than that—
It was better to use his strongest move right away, crush Mo Xu-Jun as fast as possible, and take the Heart of the Celestial River.
“Hm?”
Mo Xu-Jun’s aura was terrifying, but his brows furrowed.
He looked at the axe above the Taixu Lord’s head, the one slowly chopping down toward him, and an unprecedented sense of danger flooded his heart.
“I can’t block it. Under this axe, I will definitely be badly injured.”
Mo Xu-Jun’s face shifted slightly. The mont that axe’s aura was revealed, he saw all the tilines where he tried to et this strike head-on.
Even at his strongest, he couldn’t withstand it. The sheer raw power of this strike already reached the threshold of the second realm.
Even if he turned and ran now, he wouldn’t be able to escape.
The axe had locked onto him via countless threads of causality the mont the Taixu Lord activated it.
“So this is the thod of that second-realm Ti Being behind the Taixu Dinsion that Milky Way ntioned?”
Mo Xu-Jun thought quickly. If not for Milky Way’s warning, he would have been in utter panic right now.
But at the mont, he wasn’t flustered in the slightest. He even had the composure to study the subtle details of the axe.
“This axe…”
The other Ti Beings of the Chaotic Void also felt imnse pressure.
The strike the Taixu Lord unleashed was mainly locked onto Mo Xu-Jun, but even the residual aura left the others feeling anxious.
“What is that axe the Taixu Lord is using?”
“No idea. I’ve never heard of him using it before.”
“Is it so hidden trump card, or sothing else?”
The many watching Ti Beings all changed expression slightly. As the axe was activated, the future tilines they were observing gradually grew clearer.
Even though they still couldn’t perceive Hui Zu’s existence, they could sense that this struggle over the Heart of the Celestial River faintly involved more than just the Taixu and Chaotic Void Dinsions.
There were stronger Ti Beings entangled in it.
“Taixu, so this is your confidence?”
Mo Xu-Jun’s expression was calm as he spoke.
The razor-sharp axe light cleaved through the Celestial River Dinsion itself as it chopped toward him.
“You…”
The Taixu Lord stared at Mo Xu-Jun.
The calm on the other’s face made him feel that things were not going exactly as he’d foreseen.
“Let’s see what you use to block this strike.”
As he looked at Mo Xu-Jun, the Taixu Lord was also constantly watching the future tilines.
This was a thod all Ti Beings used in battle—by continually observing the future tilines, they could judge what move their opponent was about to use, and how they themselves should respond.
“Hah!”
Mo Xu-Jun flipped his right hand.
A jade stone appeared.
A closer look revealed that the jade stone was ford from countless runes.
The numberless runes intertwined and fused, together creating the jade stone’s body.
The instant the jade appeared, those endless runes suddenly scattered. In a flash, the surrounding spaceti and the boundless waters of the celestial river were all perated by runes, and even the Taixu Lord was trapped within a world of runes.
“What is this?”
Fear flickered in the Taixu Lord’s eyes. Under the sh of runes, the axe he’d activated seed to be completely cut off.
“Is this jade stone really this powerful?”
Mo Xu-Jun was also stunned. With only a slight activation, he could feel his control over the surrounding spaceti reach an extre.
He had no way of knowing that the jade stone Lin Yuan had given him was an embodint of the runic Dao of the second Source World—a Dao once walked by a Lord-level Ti Being who pursued “omnipotence”.
Using endless runes to control heaven and earth was rely one possible application.
“Die.”
After activating the jade stone, Mo Xu-Jun locked onto the motionless Taixu Lord in the distance, killing intent flashing in his eyes.
Even if he couldn’t completely kill the Taixu Lord, he had to at least leave that main battle body behind.
“Not good.”
The Taixu Lord imdiately felt a vast terror well up from the unseen, emanating from the endless runes that had replaced the heavens and spaceti.
“Hui Zu, save .”
The Taixu Lord didn’t hesitate to call for help.
If he waited any longer, he truly felt that this main battle body of his would die.
Hum~ Just as the Taixu Lord’s words fell, within the heavens that had been completely overwritten by runes, a wisp of gray suddenly appeared.
It was gray pushed to the extre, an abyssal gray that rapidly spread out in all directions. Runes began to shatter one by one, and spaceti split into two distinct auras.
One was the jade stone ford of endless runes.
The other was that deep, abyssal gray—like the withering of all things and the destruction of dinsions.
From the depths of the gray, a figure condensed—a gray-robed being whose aura was terrifying.
He glanced at the Taixu Lord, then turned his gaze to the runic jade stone before Mo Xu-Jun.
“You are…”
Mo Xu-Jun’s expression grew tense and grave. The pressure this gray figure exerted on him was imnse.
“Two choices.”
The gray figure, Hui Zu, narrowed his eyes.
He had not wanted to show himself. As a second-realm Ti Being, once he personally took action and let his aura leak out, many things would no longer be easy to conceal.
For example, at this very mont, Hui Zu could faintly sense that his appearance and interference in the current tiline had already drawn the attention of two other second-realm Ti Beings in this interdinsional region.
But if he didn’t act given the situation just now, the Taixu Lord would definitely have died.
If the Taixu Lord died, the Heart of the Celestial River would inevitably fall into Mo Xu-Jun’s hands, and he would still have to intervene then.
“What?”
Every muscle in Mo Xu-Jun’s body was taut. In front of Hui Zu, the runic jade stone gave him very little sense of security.
“Either retreat, or die.”
Hui Zu laid out the choices.
Since he’d already drawn the attention of the nearby second-realm Ti Beings, he needed to take the Heart of the Celestial River as quickly as possible.
“Either retreat? Or die?”
Mo Xu-Jun felt the overbearing aura of Hui Zu.
“Don’t think that just because you sohow got your hands on that jade stone, you can guarantee your life.”
Hui Zu looked at Mo Xu-Jun and sneered. “If you don’t back down, you die.”
But in the next instant—
Hui Zu’s expression shifted slightly.
Because beside Mo Xu-Jun, at so point, a young man with his hands clasped behind his back had appeared, smiling faintly.
“Is that so?”
